The four year appointment for the Docmail product means CFH will be able to supply hybrid mail services for all public sector bodies in the UK.

Dave Broadway, managing director of CFH said: "Significant cost savings can be achieved by the use of hybrid mail and in the current climate this is clearly a route public sector bodies will find hard to ignore. By incorporating hybrid mail, customers can save in the region of 60% on their normal postal contracts."

Buying Solutions forms part of the Efficiency and Reform Group within the Cabinet Office.

CFH already has extensive contracts within the public sector, including sending out 3m documents during this year’s council tax billing period in March, but the award will allow it to expand its customer base within governmental organisations.

CFH Docmail combines online technology with Royal Mail delivery. Mailings, which can be a single letter or a personalised mailing to thousands, are written and created on-line by the originator, sent electronically to Docmail where they are printed and delivered via CFH’s own downstream access facility.
